Anne-girl

Like every year, the coming of spring brings on thoughts of Anne of Green Gables. As a child I read all of the books several times over. My sister and I cut locks of each others hair just like Anne and Diana because we wanted something to remember each other by (as if we didn't have enough already). Tea parties and mud pies were our forte and dresses and fields sounded more than appealing to us. Anne of Green Gables was my hero.

The topic in class has been this idea of convergence. Mass media has become this crazy in-depth thing that I never would have expected. Well, since Anne of Green Gables has been on my mind as of late, I have been thinking about convergence within this text. This redhead girl Anne has been turned into many different forms. Not only are there books, there was a silent film made in 1919 adapting to the story, and another film made in 1934; from there on there have been seven television movies made, along with an anime series and another animated series, and a musical.
Over done? Maybe, but I haven't seen everything made in adaptation to the books. All I know is that the stories are lovely.

This loveable little redheaded girl Anne has made quite an impact on the world, influencing young girls and so many others.
